divine comedy

Most of our miseries arise from the gap between our reality and an envisioned alternate reality. It arises from the non-acceptance of the present; a longing for something, somewhere, some perfect timing. But it never comes. The chase never ends. This gap is where we feel like we failed.

all my choices lead to Life

Dear mama, There is life in the sound of my heels on the quiet streets of London, In the crammed tubes where people are always rushing to go somewhere. There is life in the moon glaring at me from behind the clouds, In the silent nights by the river when music and laughter are blasting...

Evolution Glitch

You are a slave. A colonized mind. A life-sentenced human and you will be chained until eternity.

letters of an apathetic man

Some time last year, in a foggy vision where the part of my brain that distinguishes an hour from a minute was dizzy. In times like that you forget; what is time but a man made illusion? Aren't the thoughts floating in space of the mind more dominant than anything else, such as time? Some time...

With Vera by his side supporting his work, Nabokov published 18 novels between 1926 and 1974 (both in Russian...

A lover, a Healer, and Such Things
